About Me

Greg-Timm (Musician/Song Writer)

Greg-Timm is a songwriter and has a large amount of his own original material. Usually strong, heavy guitar based music with strong musical hooks & vocals. As a solo artist, he provides most of the musicianship and vocals you will be hearing. (except the drums are programmed)

"I come from a very musical family so I when I did start to play guitar, I had plenty of very good teachers and many great sources for inspiration. I am into very heavy strong sounding guitar based music. Whether it's Rock, Metal, Blues, Jazz, Classical, or Acoustic Roots type of music, I enjoy it if the musicianship is there. I do my very best to translate this into everything I play and sing."

Started playing at an early age. Received the Virtuoso Award from the Long Island Music Teachers Assoc. @ the age of 17. Played in many bands, many different styles of music, but usually Hard Rock driven music. Always wrote my own songs so I was very eager to start an all-original rock band. I wound up fronting these bands because I could not find a singer that could sing the notes I could. Later, worked heavily to improve on my voice (Tenor) and will always do my best to sing with conviction and feel. And because I am always pushing to improve my playing, I enjoy jamming with new players. And try to learn something new all the time. In the meantime, I have also done some studio work for other artists. Most professional gig so far was when I recorded with Richard "Marley" Booker (Bob Marley's Brother) on his Medicine Man CD. (go to BobMarleyMovement.Com or to his Myspace page listed as Richard Marley Booker. I play the lead guitar parts on the song Station Revelation, which you can hear on his site.) I was surprised he wanted my heavy driven guitar style in his music but we worked well together and I liked what came out of it.

Now I am working on some new songs that I am very excited about. I am polishing up the recordings and working on getting the sounds I want. Hopefully, with some luck, it will be finished this year. It will be a mix of Heavy Blues Rock & Progressive Metal !!!

And also, play in a three piece Power rock/metal band called THREE-WAY-CRASH. We get together when we can, and are talking about hitting the clubs again. Three Way Crash has more of a progressive style and we don't worry too much about extending a song if we can make it more fun to play. The idea about this band there is no leader, and each person plays whatever he wants during the song. Usually this is a recipe for noise, but with these musicians, it works out great for all involved. Hope to get a Band page on this site for Three Way Crash soon.

Band Members: It's only me. All vocals & instruments done by me. (but I'm a guitarist/Vocalist 1st) All songs written by Greg Timm.
Influences:

All Hard,Heavy, & Melodic Rock Music. Love over driven guitar played well & Strong vocals. First musical influences were The Stones, Beatles, The Kinks, The Who, & Kiss. While learning guitar kept jamming with my Hendrix, Cream, Johnny Winter & Mountain albums. Then later got into Led Zeppelin which led to many other things. Then after hearing Van Halen, Randy Rhoades, Gary Moore & Yngwie Malsteem, started playing for hours on end trying to get that kind of quality into my playing.

For vocals I was influenced by Robert Plant, & Roger Daltry but I sounded more like Paul Stanley, John Lennon, & Ozzy.

My songs are basically Heavy Melodic Rock songs based around the guitar. The lyrics are very light hearted at times but I do feel I have something to say. I hate artists that try to tell me how I should feel or think about a certain subject so I try not to do that myself. I Just try to think & write about everyday things really, and how I see them.
